Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and has enforced a policy of apartheid against Palestinians for years, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki has said at the opening of six-day hearings on Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories.
During the International Court of Justice hearing in The Hague, Al-Maliki said 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children, are besieged, starved and displaced as more than 3.5 million Palestinians in West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are subjected to colonisation of their territory and the racist violence that enables it.
Maliki added that allowing this to continue is unacceptable because it is a moral and legal obligation to bring it to a prompt end.
